Quantum Coherence in a Bose-Einstein Condensate

Quantum Coherence in a Bose-Einstein Condensate
Many-particle quantum coherence is a phenomenon where two or more particles take on the form of a wave and combine to act as one large wave. A Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) consists of a gas cooled to temperatures near absolute zero, whereby quantum correlations become recognizable on a macroscopic scale and can be observed.
